Those people are dumb and have never been professional athletes.

I'm guessing their contracts would have steep penalties if they quit or boycotted games.

Good for them.

As for Sterling, maybe he can hook up with Paula Deen and open an NBA-themed restaurant where all of the servers...nope, there is no way I can finish this sentence.

The most racist people in human history didn't have any trouble using black women sexually. In fact, that was part of the fun of owning them. Let's face it -- there's no reason to think that she actually liked him. If he weren't racist, he'd still be an ugly 80-year-old married man not known for his personality. She's a working girl, and he was her employer.

He basically says in the phone recording that Latina women should be like delicate flowers. Sterling sees them as exotic playthings. Him being with her is just his fantasy come to life. That doesn't mean (obviously) he actually respects her in any way.

It's hard to determine who was using who. She seems like the classic gold digger and if the allegations are true that she embezzled over $1 mil from Sterling then her true intentions in all of this is questionable.

Her character is no doubt questionable (the timing of the leaked tapes following so quickly after his wife filed a lawsuit against the mistress to me reads that she didn't care about his racism as long as she was getting paid), but that doesn't make his words and actions any less detestable.

A+ victim blaming, there.

Stop using "victim" and "victim blaming" so loosely.

You're right, I was too quick on the draw there. I should have said "A+ derailment."

Whaa? She was being sued for embezzling a substantial amount of money and released this recording for revenge when they didn't back down in the civil case.

She's definitely not a victim here.

This is just a mud slinging match where everyone got dirty.

LOL! She is far from a victim. Girl stole money from sugar daddy and leaked tapes to embarrass this old guy once she got called out for it. If you listen to the tapes she is more amused by the old mans remarks than offended. If you ask me, they are both assholes who deserve each other. And no, i'm not derailing or condoning the old man, I just find it very interesting that this gold digger had no problems with dating a racist until he decided to sue her for the money she embezzled from him. just saying...

Lol @ your edit. But what you said here is pretty much what it is. She's definitely a gold digger, and he's all about the sex.

I haven't read all the details, but it doesn't sound like there were any victims here. There were people who were douchy, and others who were treated with disrespect, money grubbers and philanderers, but I'm not seeing victims.

I'm glad to see there was punishment even if it won't hurt him very much. What he did wasn't illegal, so throwing him in jail with a bunch of black guys might sound like fun, it wouldn't happen.
